Amen, Bruce, well said. It is a dangerous and evil spirit that tries to creep in among the unlearned, undisciplined and inexperienced Believers; that tells them they are special to the Lord, and His ONLY ONES, out of all Christians, "who got it right!" What inevitably happens with that kind of deception and arrogance, an unclean spirit is working in the hidden to overthrow the leadership with sin.
Merlene - Bruce is right - IF the other churches he named do indeed do this. It's your faith in God's healing. Oil should be used, but it's TOTALLY not necessary. I was healed of scoliosis at age 18 in '60 and I had no idea God was real, even tho' I'd heard about him. I th'ot for 10 yrs. I had done the healing - by just walking; then I began learning of HIM. God sees the need, cont.
Irene: there are many churches that anoint with oil :Baptist, Alliance, Methodist and others I can't think of their Names. The ones that anoint with oil believe in healing, but not all believe in Salvation as the Scripture says.Only by the Blood of The Lamb: A tug in The Heart,ask forgiveness, Filled by The Spirit: Matthew 3:11 / Made New 2Corinthians 5:17, "You Will Know!"
Merlene, I am saying that the Bible says, ask and you shall receive, later in the Bible it says for those who are not receiving to examen themelves and what they are asking for. aswell(if it is right)then you also need to believe that it will happen when you ask for it. now God loves you and knows what is best, He says no, yes, or wait, God can and does use all things for His glory and for good.
Only an Apostolic, Jesus name (Pentecostal) church will anoint you with oil, and pray with you at the same time. No other churches believe in healing. And as Colossians 3:17 says, do ALL in the name of Jesus. If you want healing, the TITLES of father, son, and holy ghost, won't do it. God's word itself says - Jesus.
Merlene We take the word of God at its first value The oil is anointing oil If you do go to church do as the word of God says in verses 14-15 With God everything is possible just approach Him with your heart know that He is and He is the regarder of all those who deligently seek Him I want to boost your faith as you need a miracle It's the will of God to heal us Mark 10:46-52Matt 8:1-3; 15:21-28
Marlene: Oil is that of The Holy Spirit. The Word of God, read a few more verses it's talking about being saved. Yes, I Believe there are Miracles! I read testimonies of other Believers. But not all Believers are healed? He brings Joy to The Saved while in their affliction. Soon it will end. We all will have New Bodies,He will wipe away all tears. No more pain. Forever with No End.Revelation21
Was there a special oil used for healing in James5:14?my son is a quadriplegic due to a car wreck caused by a 'texter' he should've already been walking but he never got the therapies he needed he need a miracle now
The word of God clearly state that we as children of life most high we should be mindful of the things that will keep us preserve from the riches and treasures of this life.nothing is wrong with having wealth but when we choose wealth over the things of God we are in trouble ,so let not set our hearts on things of this lif but instead focus on God.
Study His Word from Genesis to Revelation's show yourself approved. It is your safeguard so if others miss quote Scripter or print it wrong you will know. Stay near the Cross. Bring others with you.
God really loves us that's why he sent his Son Jesus Christ to us so that we can have life in abundance. God is merciful and faithful to his words. Our job now is to accept Jesus as the Son of the living God and obey his words and praise and worship him only. Thanks to the blood of Jesus always. Think and talk about his blood. Thank you Jesus for giving us unconditional love and peace. Amen
James assures me that the ways of the world, as unrighteous as they are and seeming to go on without being stopped are not the true reality. What is real is the way of God and He would like me to pay attention to this. Just to continue, by His grace, in His ways
It useful information, which helps one to know where to go in relationship: 1. With God 2. With our fellow human beings, with whom we are ever clashing forr seeing things differently from them.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Verse 20 shows that we should be concerned about the faith of others and that we can help others to even save their relationship and lives with God if we help them turn back from their bad ways.
I know God love us all n if we do what he tells us no blessing is too big or impossible I seen a homeless man? Yesterday n I had bout a loaf of bread n I kept saying I don't need the loaf I said I need to bless the man with it I did thank you so much God Bless us all
I think James is one of the most powerful books of the Bible, it is a perfect example of how we are to be just like Jesus who never offended with his speech but so many of us do and in read- ing James I realize how careful we must be to watch what we say even when we think no one else can hear us.
james5:7-11 urges us to have the patience of Christ who has been patient with us. He will surely reward us at right time. If not now then at least in heaven.
